How can I test a picoPSU that seems DOA? I can't find any documentation or support. MOBO is ASRock Z87E-ITX and CPU is Intel Core i5-4440.

You would need a multimeter to test it. You can also try it with a different board if you have one. It can also be the power brick, you need a good quality brick. I received doa pico150 and returned it for a 160 that works.

Without knowing much about your setup, such as the power brick feeding your PSU, I can only reccomend return through amazon for another one

Here's a 2 minute official Corsair video explaining how to test the PSU with a paperclip.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FWXgQSokF4

Did you press f2 on restart? Not on initial start but bring it up then do a restart. I know that sounds weird but that is how I got my HE to see the 2GB memory. Hit the f2 key multiple times to get to the BIOS screen. When I installed the 667 mhz memory on my HE the vids were choppy, I replaced it with an 800 mhz and the problem is gone. Maybe I got a bad module, who knows?

I just programmed a PIC16F88 and it worked fine the first time. Granted, it's not an 887x but, I'll bet it'll do it.

Hey I actually have the exact same question. I just bought a TR4M to go with this board. What were your findings? I just tried booting it (I'm running Ubuntu off a thumb drive) and the system hung for a while before presenting me with a laundry list of conflicts. I'm curious, did you try this out? What did you end up doing?Thankya!

Yes, I have this board, but with an AMD 8-core CPU. I had problems getting it to read due to the complex BIOS of the board. Make sure the last 4 digits of your motherboard serial number matches your BIOS version. The final fix for getting it to read was removing the CPU and CMOS battery for a minimum 5 minutes (as directed by ASUS) and then after the systems boots, adjust the BIOS clocking from 1600MHZ to 1866MHZ.

sorry it took so long to get back, just make sure u got all the connectors plugged in and have a good power supply. try to test the power connectors if there not a name brand on something u know that works to rule out a fault power connector

Offcourse but you might have to update your motherboards bios. 90% of the time you just plug it in and itll work.

How do you know it's not the mobo or pc power switch. It could be a bad cpu etc. If you suspect a bad power supply and don't trust the power supply tester, try to obtain another known good power supply and install it.

1) did you make sure the heat sink was applied properly? what kind of temps are you getting @ bios when you reboot. 2) power supply: how old? what kind of wattage? 3) Have you tried doing any other intensive tasks like gaming or running a test app like SuperPi? Does it shut down then?

Never tried, but there's nothing preventing this, except, perhaps, finding the correct kind of memory module for the board. You'll have to find the correct module on the Internet, or just disassembling it to read the model/specs on the module.

when I got this product it came defective and I had the same problem. Once i got the new one I no longer had problems getting it to work. check with Intel for warranty information.

Defective motherboard, as I had a similar issue with an Asus MB. If it is still under warranty, good luck with dealing with their support. I would strongly suggest going with another manufacturer if you decide to replace it, ASUS really doesn't stand behind their products.

the post analyzer will show problem .check for overheating of cpu also ram & rom mem make sure they are the right ones for motherboard.

I am using an Asus Sabertooth board along with an AMD 8core Processor. The PSU should work right from what I am understanding from you guys.
